Background: Nearly one-third of the world's population dies from cardiovascular disorders, the majority of which are caused by stroke and coronary artery problems and 80 percent of these fatalities occur in impoverished countries. This study was conducted to determine the frequency of ventricular septal rupture in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction presenting to cardiology unit Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar. Methods: This was descriptive cross sectional research study at the Department of Cardiology, MTI-Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, from January to July 2020. Detailed history was obtained including duration of symptoms, co-morbidities present and occupation. A thorough clinical examination was done for signs of heart failure and ventricular septal rupture. Patients’ demographics, clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded on a pro forma. All the data was analyzed statistically by using SPSS version 24.0. Results: A total of 179 patients were included in our study. Ventricular Septal Rupture (VSR), was recorded in 7 (3.9%) patients having Acute ST elevation of MI. In our study age, obesity, reperfusion therapy, location of MI and history of previous shock were observed to be non-significantly (p˂0.05) associated with high incidence of Ventricular Septal Rupture in patients having Acute ST elevation of MI. Conclusion: According to our findings, individuals with PI-VSR have a significant risk of acute-phase death. Furthermore, a significant incidence of acute-phase fatalities has been related to female gender and severe cardiac failure upon admission.
Background: Prosthetic valve thrombosis is one of the most well-known life-threatening complications after valve replacement surgery. A poor antithrombotic status causes this thrombotic condition. Objective: The purpose of this study to examine how prosthetic valve thrombosis was treated at our institute. Furthermore assessed were the patients' clinical characteristics. Study design: This observational study was conducted using statistical analyses at the cardiac department of cardiology qazi hussain ahmad medical complex nowshera from jan 2021 to jan 2022 Material and Methods: this study conducted in the Department Of Cardiology Noswshera Medical College Nowshera ,Qazi Hussain Medical Complex Nowshera,kpk The study covered 20 patients who consulted the cardiology clinic between June 2020 and July 2021. The patients who were recently diagnosed with PV thrombosis were selected for further study focused on the inclusion criteria. Each patient's clinical characteristics and demographic profile were noted. In-hospital results were also examined. Results: This observational study was conducted on 20 patients. The majority were female patients (55%) among all patients in this study. Fluoroscopy was used to confirm the diagnosis further.
Background: The purpose of this research was to determine the prevalence of hypokalemia among patients undergoing acute [MI] therapy at the Department of Cardiology at HMC Peshawar. Methodology and Location of Study This was a research done at one location only: the Cardiology Division of H.M.C. Methods and materials: this research was carried out at the Cardiology Division at HMC Peshawar between January 1 and June 6, 2021). In all, 414 patients went through the trial's extensive screening (including history taking, routine questions, etc.). An electrocardiogram verified the suspected heart attack. Each patient had 5 mL of venous blood drawn and sent off to the lab to rule out hypokalemia. The same consultant pathologist with at least five years of expertise oversaw all laboratory testing. When the serum potassium level drops below 3.6 mmol/L, a diagnosis of hypokalemia may be made. The mean age of the participants was 63, with a standard deviation of 7.04 years; 240 (or 58%) were men and 174 (or 42%) were women.
